Range Proving Ground

Famous quotes containing the words range, proving and/or ground:

    The wider the range of possibilities we offer children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences. We must widen the range of topics and goals, the types of situations we offer and their degree of structure, the kinds and combinations of resources and materials, and the possible interactions with things, peers, and adults.
    Loris Malaguzzi (1920–1994)

    What is
    there in being able
    to say that one has dominated the stream in an attitude of
    self-defense;

    in proving that one has had the experience
    of carrying a stick?
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    The sight of one of these frontier houses, built of these great logs, whose inhabitants have unflinchingly maintained their ground many summers and winters in the wilderness, reminds me of famous forts, like Ticonderoga or Crown Point, which have sustained memorable sieges.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
